A number of men seek more defined and sculpted "PECS" (i.e. pectoral muscles). Even though they may spend a lot of time working out at the gym, they are unable to develop their pec muscles (pectoral major) to their expectation. This is where male pec implants come into play. These are solid implants (not the fluid filled implants for women). They are also shaped differently. They are not round, but are tapered to enhance the male's pec muscles.

Dr. Joshua Halpern designed his "Halpern Universal endoscopic retractor," which he uses in this operation. A relatively short incision is made in the armpit. He uses his Halpern Universal endoscopic retractor, which incorporates a tiny TV camera. He then makes a pocket under the pectoralis major muscle. Unlike a woman's breast augmentation, no muscle is cut. "Here we want to define the muscle." His technique is virtually bloodless, unlike older techniques.

"It is fun to see these patients after surgery," according to Dr. Halpern. "They [his male patients] like to flash their chests. They are so proud of them. Their significant others typically remark on how natural their chest feels."
